Severe Power Supply Issue

Madikeri, Sep. 9: Power supply was stopped in most parts of the state, including Kodagu district, today, causing a serious problem.

Yesterday, generators in thermal power generation stations in Raichur and Bellary were damaged, severely affecting power generation.

Earlier, power supply was stopped from morning to evening in many places in Kodagu district for repair work. But when the electricity was charged in the evening, the power supply was completely stopped from Mysore itself. According to the district CESC officials, it is known that the same situation is likely to continue for the next two days. Due to this, the people of the district are facing a situation of extreme distress.

Ponnanna information

When this was brought to the attention of the Chief Minister's Political Secretary A.S. Ponnanna, he responded and brought it to the attention of higher officials. He said at 9.30 pm that he had received information that the 220 kV line would be charged and connected soon.

Madikeri MLA Dr. Mantar Gowda said that he had contacted and discussed with senior officials of the department concerned in the wake of the power outage.

MLA's Special Duty Officer Explanation

The current power outage has nothing to do with the Virajpet Chescom power reinforcement and improvement.

In some districts, the generators at Erasmus (Raichur) and Bellary coal-fired power plants/centers/generating stations suddenly stopped, and the power generated by the thermal power station of about 3000 OW (3000000 AWs) was cut off at once, causing power outages in about 10 districts. 

There is no power difference in other districts because some districts do not have power interruption from Raichur Thermal Power Plant, Varahi Power Plant, Sharavathi Power Generation Center, Nagajhari Power Generation Center, Supa Power Plant. There is power disruption in places like Mysore, Chamarajanagar, Mandya, Hassan.

Generators of two coal-fired power plants are being started. The generator needs to generate electricity when the temperature rises, this task will take about 2 to 3 hours.

Raichur Bellary Thermal Power Station engineers are trying their best to connect the power.

Electricity consumers should note that this does not come under the jurisdiction or control of KEB or Chescom or KPTCL (Karnataka Power Transmission Mission). Power generation comes under the jurisdiction of KPCL (Karnataka Power Corporation).

The power company in charge of this is the Load Dispatching Centre, Bangalore, which is under the control of thermal and hydro power generation stations. The Mysore Chief Engineer is in direct contact with the Load Dispatching Centre, Bangalore (IAA or SIAA) Chief Engineer.

Kodagu electricity consumers should not misunderstand that this is a situation caused by a disruption in the state power generation unit. MLA's Special Duty Officer B.P. Muthanna said that he is getting full information.

Power supply was restored in some parts of Madikeri by 10.30 pm. Power supply was restored in Kushalnagar and Somwarpet areas by around 10.30 pm. Power supply was not restored in Virajpet area even at 10.45 am.
